Thanks Michael. I was hoping some one would jump in with something, but oh well.

Great theme.

Thank you Michael. I was out this afternoon; so I couldn't put a theme out there.


Is it Love or Is it Lust?

Love is fine wine and stuffed mushrooms.
Love is dark chocolate shared.
Love is chicken soup served to you when you're sick.

Lust is a cheap rum and whatever will fill your gut.
Lust is dark chocolate given as a lure.
Lust is chicken soup without the soul.

Sandra E.

Poetry is not my forte, but here's goes nothing...

Love or Lust?

The mind, the flesh
Both need you now
You know just how

To ease the mind
To please the flesh
Two bodies will collide and mesh

I give, you take
Yet afterwards
What have we left but hollow words?

You say it's more
Than carnal need
I agree to that to do the deed

Love or lust?
Who's to say?
I'm getting laid either way

Hey Pete, those last few lines really made me chuckle.

And Sandra, your Love or Lust - right on the money.

Tommy, I've got a theme for the next one if anyone wants to take it up.

"Memories" - how they impact on our lives, shape us, stay with us, false memory etc. You get the gist.

Or, if no-one is into that one - this line from the movie "Married Life" just stuck with me: -

"Whoever in this room really knows what goes on in the mind of the person who sleeps next to you?"

Thanks. I wrote those lines first, but thought it was better as a finish.

Love or Lust

If it's love or lust, it's got my heart on the fritz
They both sit well with me, no matter how hot it gets
Love is like an elevator, it makes me uplift
Lust is like cocaine, it makes my heart skip
When I see a woman, 99% of the time it's lust
You can find this feeling at your job or on the city bus
It usually ends up in well-timed pelvic thrusts
And when it comes to lust, it ain't never about us
Then there's always that 1% that stands out in the crowd
It's not just the body, it's the eyes that astound
I mean, you could stare for hours, it's soul by the pound
Makes me want to sit down, and write verbs and nouns
Describing the ways she makes my mind do the mamba
When I picture me and her it don't involve my anaconda
Aye cu rumba, love and lust got my mind running like OJ
So excuse me if I stutter or jumble up my words, okay?

Not a natural poet - but hey we're letting it all hang out,  (so to speak) and if I'm to make suggestions as I did above - may as well throw my hat in the ring.

Lust is the greatest pretender.
Masquerading as love.
Hot, selfish and certain
Fast, fervent, wonderful.
A slick, sweet, liquid insanity.
Its conceit unrivaled.

Cloaked in the colour red
Repented, too often, in black.

Love is … love is languid, slow and sure.
Here to stay, not go.
Love’s best founded in lust, but
when lust is gone to ground,
Love is still around.

THE SMALL FURRY ANIMAL SONG

I reach out for the chips
And your hand touches mine
At first I pull back from
that invisible line.

I look past your elbow
Your chest, neck and your chin
Past your pouting full lips
That turn up in a grin

Then into your green eyes
But, ah, at such a cost
My brain, it just freezes
And I feel a bit lost

Like a small furry animal
Caught in the headlights
Of your eyes
So bright.

Are you staying forever or
Will you just leave me
As roadside
Debris?

How can I love you
we haven’t said a word?
But, oh, it’s you I want
I know that sounds absurd.

And how I am feeling
I couldn’t possibly care
If it’s only one night
Or every day each year

If only I could speak
I’d tell you this right now
Though all I would say is
Meow Meow Meow

Like a small furry animal
Caught in the headlights
Of your eyes
So bright.

Are you staying forever or
Will you just leave me
As roadside
Debris?

It’s then that I can feel
A twitch upon on my lips
My eyes are moving too
My hand stirs round the chips!

I pull it out and then
give you a shy smile.
That’s when you turn away
laughing all the while.

And now I’m feeling like
I just might have to cry.
Your tracks along my back
Not even a good-bye

To the small furry animal
Caught in the headlights
Of your eyes
So bright.

Who you haven’t noticed and
Then you just left me
As roadside
Debris.

LC, "memories" sounds like a good theme.

Michael, I think that's your best poem so far. Lust it... ah, I mean LOVE it. Like the links on the first post?

My poem:

Love or lust,
Trust or bust.

Both involve touch,
Loving, sexual and such.

Maybe it’s the same,
As both involve blame.

Love cannot be defined,
Yet lust is clear and blind.

Are they really that similar?
Superficial and beneficial.

Genuine is a mindset, a fleeting thought.
The main difference is that love can’t be bought.

Demons
are everywhere
Here to haunt you
anywhere
from the cradle
to the final hole
Memories are the greatest of all

"Memories"

A haiku

A thousand and one
Lost and gone forever now
Wish I had some back
I guess I'll just make some more
A few are stuck here
That do me no good at all
Do I really need
To recall Mike's friend Boner,
Punky Brewster's theme?
Or Balki's Cousin Larry?
I can't find my keys

~Pete
